Risqué 2
GISELLE MCCALL
You remember me, right? The divorcee, the empty-nester trying to segue her way back into the dating world. Yeah, that’s me. I was thrown into a Risqué situation at the hands of my beautiful, and caring daughter. In her quest to get her Mama back out into the dating world, she brought this wonderful guy named Zane Cabot, into my life. As it turns out, that encounter gave me a new lease on life. Birthed a part of me that I didn’t even know was there! I'm thankful. But I won’t lie; shaking feelings from the past gets hard. Being done wrong, will do that. There's still a part of me that is fearful of hurt, because of what I've been through. And why? Zane has given me absolutely no reason to doubt his intentions.
But then there are always those nagging thoughts. Letting them go is the struggle. But if I want a life with him—and I do—I have to give it my best.
ZANE CABOT
Summer has come to an end, and Giselle’s and mine was well-spent. I mean, immensely, well spent. We were fortunate enough to have met each other during a space of time, where we had a lot of time, to invest. It’s been great. Las Vegas is good. Giselle, is good. The job . . . all of it is good.
Giselle is pure beauty to me. I enjoy her company. And I enjoy the place that she’s carved out in a corner of my life. She encompasses what the ideal woman should be. But, as much as I hate to admit it, her inability to get out of her own way is wearing me thin. I don't want to walk away. But if we can’t keep our heads from butting against the same wall, walking away might be my only option. See, the last thing I want or need, is a woman in my life that has to be babysat and coddled into believing the good in a man—a man who has only come to do right by her. I have a lot to give the right woman. And while I think I’ve found that woman, I won't beg her to claim the space in my heart that I’m prepared to reserve for just her.
If she can't see it for what it is, then we just weren't meant to be.
TREVOR ROSSI
So, I’m getting somewhat of a bigger part in the story this time around. But what good does that do when somebody wants me dead? What sense does that even make? Right when I’m about to get to show a piece of my life, I may be losing . . . my life. And whoever this person is, they’ve gone through drastic measures to make sure that happens. Go figure. Never knew that bringing pleasure to so many lives could get under so many people’s skin. And because I was oblivious to that fact, I placed myself in a position to be ambushed.
All I know is if they win, there will be a whole lot of disappointed women out there. I’m just sayin’. But if they don’t win, let’s just say, it won’t be good for them. Especially, if I find out who it was. Because, see . . . I’ve never taken a life, but I’m sure as hell prepared to do just that.

About the author
Perri Forrest
42 books177 followersI had up my previous bio for years! It was nice and all, and gave details of my life. But it was so structured! And I’m kinda not. Because of that, I’ve decided to change it to something that really gives you a glimpse into who I am. Is that cool? K, good. So, here goes:
I’m a Bay Area girl. Cali is in my blood! I moved to Vegas in 2017 (No, I wasn’t following the Raiders!) to see how another way of life would be, after my only kid . . . the love of my life . . . decided he was joining the Marines. Can you believe that?! Sigh. Wait, deep sigh! I know some parents await the day for their kids to leave, not this Mama. That was my ace, my bestie in male form. I had to hit the reset button. But here I am. He’s thriving. I’m ‘trying’ to thrive. Lol! No, but really. This relocation was good because I’ve never lived away from home. So, I needed to grow, cultivate a little. It’s working for now.
I consider myself a novelist. And that’s because a novelist doesn’t just write in one genre. For the most part, I write #InterracialRomance, with a primary focus on #BWWM, as my leads. However, I have written a few novels that fell comfortably in the #AfricanAmericanFiction realm, showcasing some #BlackLove. In short, I love building stories. I like to say that I “spin #Sexy and #Suspense into a single web.” The two dynamics have to co-exist in my stories, or I’m bored. And you know if the author is bored with their own work, there’s a problem! Trust me, I’ve done plenty of rewrites when that’s happened.
On my literary journey, I just hope to always write the stories that women find relatable. Characters who are strong, but vulnerable when they need to be. Family-focused, and intelligent. Basically, mirror images of myself. Ironically, writing these characters, have helped me discover things about myself along the way. I think that’s why I write as often as I do. It’s almost like peeling back layers of me as I go. And to stop that process, kind of hits the pause button on me . . . my life . . . my existence. I have to be a moving machine at all times. Does that get stressful? Absolutely. But is it rewarding and are there many teachable moments? Absolutely!
Ever need me, reach out. Ever got questions, I’m never too busy to respond.
Peace & Blessings!

So so
First I love the final twist. Who would have thought ? Giselle would just die if she knew given how uptight she is. The description of the book suggested some conflict and Zane questioning the whole relationship but none of that happened. They had lots of sex but I couldn’t really feel the emotional connection. I guess because we kept jumping into Trevor’s and Kameelah’s story, it was distracting. Giselle got upset about her mom, Skaï and Trevor’s joke but some of what she said resonated. We didn’t get a feel for them as a couple in a public setting I.e with friends or colleagues. The ending was also very abrupt. How did Zane react to the pregnancy ? He wanted children but it would have been nice to know. What does their child look like? How is she dealing with starting again given that Skaï is 22 and she now has a new job with a lot of responsibilities. The book just left an unfinished taste in my mouth. Trevor’s story sounds intriguing, looking forward to reading it and hoping he gets with Skaï. I can only imagine the challenges there.

Full of surprises
It was nice catching up with Zane and Giselle. I was pleasantly surprised to see this couple get a book 2. Their connection in the first Risqué was off the charts and that continued on into this book. Zane is that sexy lovable guy that every woman wants pursuing her. Giselle took a moment to find herself but when she did the love flowed.
But the book stealer for me was Trevor. I can’t wait for his book. There are so many layers to unpeel with this man it just kept you guessing what was going to happen next with him.

Still Good to Me
This is raw second time I’ve read something by Perri Forrest and I must say she doesn’t disappoint. I was introduced to her by way of a bookclub member and she was right. I have enjoyed her writing immensely. I must say she has made me want to go back and read her earlier books. I am also waiting on Risqué 3. She will definitely be added to my list of authors to watch and read. This book was just as good if not better the first one. There were definitely a lot of twist and surprises. Kudos, to Ms. Forrest.
Happy Reading,

Love in Sin City
This was a good read. I'm glad Trevor pulled through and who would have thought it was him that shot Trevor. I'm glad Giselle and Zane got over their lil bump in the road because they are perfect for each other. What surprised me the most is Miss CiCi. Madam is a BOSS.💙💙

Great 2nd Installment!!!
I love these 2 characters. But I have to admit that some scenes seemed to jump from one to another. I had to do a double take on a couple scenes. But can't wait to read book 3. Cause I have no idea where that book is going.
